Default High RPM's

To go along with my other post, my modified '90 idles fine, until I put it in gear and drive for a minute, and then when I put it back into park, the RPM's shoot up to about 2K and aren't coming back down unless I rev the engine several times to get it to settle down. Any ideas???

Are you sure the throttle blades aren't getting stuck open slightly?

Check your throttle body return spring and clean the intake area of the throttle body blades with cleaner. Sometimes carbon and gunk can build up in this area and will keep the throttle body open slightly.
